Taiwan is currently considering to ban all flights between Taiwan and Hong Kong/Macau.
This is proposed by Taiwanese lawmakers. Taiwan Authority promised to take the proposal seriously.
Airline industry is currently protesting at the proposal, saying this is a "very dangerous act". Shutting down the flight will cause further economical loss.
"Remember that the Cargo load factor stands at 100% when the pax load factor is 50% or below, Quote by an airline industry source, "banning flights to Hong Kong is equivalent killing China Airlines."
China Airlines says they're replacing the 744 flight with a smaller 737-800, plus the existing A300-600R flight could help the airline to battle with the SARS.
